Well apparently yes it can.
Paul and I recently moved house. About 3 days later we went on a week long holiday, which had been planned many months before the house move. While we were away, my Aunt and Granny came to look after our dog, Myf, and help get her settled into her new environment.
It would appear that all of these changes were just a bit too much for Myf. Not long after Kate and Granny left, Myf decided that she didn't like Paul and I going to work and that she would attempt to destroy as much of the house as possibly while we're away.
So after a trip to the vet, followed by a week waiting for results from blood tests, Myf is on anti-depressants. Yes, it's true, the dog who is excited by and loves everything, whose tail can't stop wagging, is depressed and suffers from anxiety. For goodness sake, soon she'll have her own therapist. Well, as long as she blames Paul and not me for her disorder... ;)

How has she been since she's been on them? Is she calmer?

Poor Myf!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Oscaroo doesn't get depressed on me next year. Between his ongoing steroids and antihistamines and antibiotics, he'll be a walking old person for sure!
BW, day one seemed to go pretty well. She's still herself, but a more relaxed and chilled out version of it. She didn't hurt herself or gauge anymore holes in the floorboards which is the main thing.
ReplyDeleteA, poor Oscar certainly is a pharmacy on legs, isn't he? Fingers crossed he takes to his new home and doesn't need puppy prozac.
